Hi all,

Does anybody know a source of 168pin DIMM sockets? I have a board with two broken ones. I found these on RS-UK which would work but RS is very dear unless you buy £50! 😀

Thanks!

No unfortunately the end of the connectors is broken and missing.

I've found someone with some very broken boards who is willing to sell them to me for spares - but if someone has hints on where to get brand new spares, that would be great.

Thanks

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

Peconnectors will NOT ship to Europe (for whatever reason).
I needed some 168-pin sockets recently and ended up ordering from RS.

Even if they did ship to Europe they also have a minimum order amount

That´s not necessarily a barrier. I once had items for a total of $ 400 + in my shopping cart at Peconnectors just to learn they wont´s ship outside the US at checkout.
It´s a pity because they offer many parts that you can´t order anywhere else.
